IsmsrhabiS Baault of a Fire Last

ing Only Four Hours in a French Town. -------------------- That flowers can be forced by heat such as is usually supplied to glass houses is, of course, an old story; but that the direct action of fire heat can have any effect in hastening the blooming of plants is a fresh suggestion, but one that in these days, when flowers are demanded in season, out of season at all times and of every kind and country, is worth consideration, says Chambers' Journal. Great events have frequently sprung from the smallest or the most apparently indirect causes and a serious fire that broke out last September at. Chansee sur Marne, between Chalons and Vitry-le-Francois, in France, while it destroyed the great-

portion of a populous village, ruinnig many of its inhabitant, may yet have as a result the even greater derelopmeat of an industry that gives employment to thousands of people. The fire, which raged on one side of the village, made a clean sweep of evtything before it in the way of buildings, and only paused when there was nothing to lick up except the orchards that once formed a hedge between the homesteads and the open country. Even then, it was hardly satiated, for it greedily devoured the two first ranks of apple and pear trees, leaving nothing but cinders; the next three rows though very scorched, were not quite destroyed, the farthest away beingnaturally the least affected. Some of the boughs escaped all hurt, and it was with these that the very curious phenomenon was observed which merits attention. A second flowering commenced at once. and by the end of October all the trees farthest from the scene of the fire were in full b!oom. as though called to renewed life by the fresh voice of May, Instead of hushing to slumber with the lullaby of Octoher. At another point the flames had swept close to a large lilac tree, and this, as well as some plum trees, bewlldered by what must have seemed to It a sudden return of summer, put on once more its bridal robes. It must be mentioned that the fire only lased four hours It will he noticed, therefore, that there was no resemblance between this sudden blast of heat and the ordinary gradual fore ing to which plants are submitted.

COLORS TELL ACE OF STARS Astronomers Enabled to Estimate th Age of Oibs by Spectroscopic Ai-.aiysis. As a star contracts from the sur rouuding nebulous mailer from which it wis thrown off, its temperature rises and with this augmented heat occurs a c hange both in the star's spet truru an: color. Red-hot iron is not nearly so hot ai white-hot iron. By ohserv j Ing the various changes in tint which the metal undergoes tho foundryman Is able to tell with considerable accura cy its decree of heat, says the Booklovers' Magazine. A somewhat similar method of gauging a s;ar's tempera lure, and therefore its age, is re.. .1 upon by the astrouomer. Color, then, and spectroscopic analysis enable the astronomer to estimaie the age of orbs that are only beginning to exiai aj stars, and others whose light is fast fading. After having coagulated, as It wars from a nebulous mass, a star assum. . a color that may be best described as an int-nse bluish-white, much like that of the electric arc. Stars of that hue are. therefore, in their infancy. Then OOmea the white stage, followed by the yellow, orange and red-each succeeding hue indicating greater celestial an- 1 tlqnlty than the UsL I'p to the yellow period the star as it contracts growl hotter and hotter. Then a gradual cooling takes place. Accompanying the i hanges in olor are changes in the spectrum of the star -changes that Indicate a modification In physical structure.

upon American .shipping created by subsidies and bount.i s bestowed upon most of the merchant Beats of foreign governments," and reference 1b made to "the lower c ost of foreign hipsand the lower cost of maintenance of these ships due in both caM. primarily, to lower wages." Yet there is nothing in this bill compelling ship ow ners to pay b.gher wage.-; and under its provisions they may employ crews five-sixths foreigB. In other words, it la urged that we shall pay ship ow ners $0 a year a ton in order that they may pay high wages

and then pe rmit them to hire cheap foreign labor to sail their ships. Nor is the provision looking to the establishment of a naval re-t-rveor militia by any m an- unoi.j.-ctioi.able.

Tariff revision, "by its friends" has been the cry of the republic i can party for the past 12 years. That has 1" "n the ISSCioaa promise of the party i for campaign purposes, and apparently ! for Campaign purposes only, says the New York Observer. What amusement these repeated platform daclarntloai j must afford those who control the legiaI lative a. ts of the party It must be a huge Joke to them, these repeated dec1 larations that the tariff is to be revised. They know too well that the republican I party is not going to rev ise any tariffs to the hurt of their profits. They knov that j the party to whose support they are such generous - ontributors will not cut down their opportunities to make larger profits at home than they do abroad The "stand patters" at the capltol. Of w hom Speaker Cannon la the recognized ead, heard yesterday that it was j the purpose of the president to call an extra session of congress for October j next to consider a revision of the tariff. I At once there became manifest a strong opposition to carrying out any such programme, even to the extent of a split la the party. Speaker Cannon declared thai If the president did call such a session It would be in direct opposition to the wishes of the leaders of the party and on misleading Information as to what the great majority of the republican party desires. While the speaker on posea any tariff revision whatever, ha believes that if such a thing is to be attsmpted the special session should be called in the spring; that a fail sessioa would be suicidal He was very outBpOteen in regard to the president's plan, and M Based determined that. If an extra on Is to be held, he shall have something to say as to when It shall be.

Representatlve Tawaey, of MtOBesota, had stated tr the president that his interviews with b l fellOW members in the house had forced him to the conclusion that there i a strong demand for tariff revision.

This is directly contrary to Speaker Can-

there any requirement as to the Lumbe r

of trips to be made in a year, though there is a provision that the largi fab sidy shall be paid to ships 'engaged'' la foreign trace or deep-sea fishing for 1' months. The subsidy is then graued lOWg tj $1, and ,50, for ships so ta gaged for nine, or six months. As far as we can see the bill Is otij i'tlonable from every point of view it cues not re peal the law under Which mail snbBidk I are now paid; though it provides that ships receiving the new subsidy hall carry the United States mails iree ot charge "if the postmaster g. Beta shall so require." But it is suggested that he would be a brave postmaster general "who would stand up against the combined shipping Internats of salt watei ports and refrain from paying them the llnary mail rates in addition to the .subsidy under this act." Some day we hope the American people w ill have a merc hant marine. II they ever get it it will be by repealing the sillv taxes now iBBpOSad on material going Into ships, wiping out our foolish restrictions, allowing our people to buy M where tin y a-e and sail them Under the American Hag.
